day 2…

Kate’s back in surgery (as we knew she would be) as the surgeons check to make sure none of her vital organs were infected and that they got all of the initial infected material out. No idea when I’ll hear the result, I’m certain it will be sometime tonight though. Isaac is still in the NICU and will be for a bit longer due to jaundice….Will post more as I know it…

ETA 7:45pm

Kate’s out of surgery, no new infections were found and they’ve pinpointed the bacteria causing the infection so they can more effectively treat it. Now we just wait and hope for recovery…

Gretchen: you are suck a great friend helping hold this family together and keeping those of us in the www informed. Hugs to them all and especially to Willem, if you can think of anything they need please let us know what we can do from here. Many of us have interests in helping out.
